Swietokrzyski National Park
Swietokrzyski National Park
Swietokrzyski National Park was established in 1950 over the area of 6,054 ha. Currently its area amounts to 7,626 ha, out of which 7,212 ha are covered by forests. There are 5 strict nature reserves in the Park.

The oldest mountain range in Europe – the Swietokrzyskie mountains - lies within the borders of the Park. The most important and unique feature of the Park are boulder fields, called "goloborza". These are the fields of quartz boulders, located close to the mountain summits devoid of vascular vegetation.
